Event Details

As speakers, we are often asked to emcee awards programs, special events and fundraisers.  Sometimes it’s for a fee and sometimes it’s for free.  Either way, emceeing can be a wonderful way to add revenue to your business by exposing your skills to a new audience.

Unfortunately, just because you’re a good speaker, you’re not necessarily a good emcee.  In fact, there is an art to emceeing and it uses our speaking skills in a unique way.

In this program Ron Culberson, a seasoned speaker and emcee, will teach you the tips and techniques you need to add professionalism and fun to your role as Master of Ceremonies.  Whether you’re hosting a recognition event, running an auction or facilitating your child’s scout meeting, these ideas will turn you into an emcee that everyone wants for their next event.

In this program, you will learn how to:

   Focus on the goal of emceeing

   Help to plan the agenda

   Research relevant information

   Keep the focus on others while shining a light on yourself

   Integrate the theme of the event in your remarks

   Stay on top of the logistics

   Share your expertise through an optional presentation

   Create good, consistent introductions and transitions

   Pay attention to things that happen

   Add lots of humor to the event without sacrificing the seriousness
